SPEECH AT GALA

Are you ready for some new music from me? I have a new song coming out this Thursday (7/14/16) called “Light That Shines”. It was such an honor being asked to write the song specifically for theChildren's Brain Tumor Foundation and perform it at their 14th Annual Dream & Promise Gala.

Here I am sharing my story, the inspiration behind the song and Natalia Crespo’s everlasting effect on my life to over 800 people at the Gala at CiprianiWallStreet, NYC.

The night raised nearly $700,000 to fund support programs for brain tumor survivors, family members and caregivers.

The song will be available for download for $5 and will continue to raise money for CBTF with ALL the proceeds going to CBTF. (www.cbtf.org)

Special Thanks to Oscar, Grammy and Emmy winning Robert Smith and Defy Recordings LLC for donating their services to the recording of “Light That Shines."

DREAM & PROMISE GALA

This is going to be such a special night with one of my all time favorite songwriters Richard Marx. On May 27th, at the Children's Brain Tumor Foundation 13th Annual Dream & Promise Gala, I will be sharing a special song that is so close to my heart to open up the evening.

In 2006, I wrote this song for my best friend Natalia Crespo Eirin, who was passing away from brain cancer. The song is about wanting to take all the pain and fear away and to be able to give her one more "Perfect Day".

Nat lost her battle with brain cancer at the age of 30, after enduring 18 major brain surgeries over a span of 14 years. Words cannot express the overwhelming feeling I have, that I get to share this song with so many others going through what she went through

Richard Marx has made history with a string of indelible hits that span both radio-ready rock tunes like “Don’t Mean Nothing” and “Should’ve Known Better,” and stirring romantic ballads like “Hold Onto The Nights” and “Right Here Waiting.” How many of you fell in love to that song?

The Chicago native has sold more than 30 million albums and scored a total of 14 No. 1 singles. He is the only male solo artist to have his first seven singles reach the Top 5 on the Billboard charts. Marx has pulled off the rare feat of having songs he has either written or co-written hit No. 1 in four separate decades.

The Children’s Brain Tumor Foundation, a non-profit organization, was founded in 1988 by dedicated parents, physicians and friends. Our mission is to improve the treatment, quality of life and the long-term outlook for children with brain and spinal cord tumors through research, support, education and advocacy to families and survivors. Our goal is to ultimately find a cure for brain tumor diseases.

One week till the 8th Annual the one hundredGala. I am so honored to be an honoree and be among so many inspiring people doing such amazing things in the cancer community. I also will be closing out the event with my song "Beautiful Day".

MUSICIANS ON CALLAbout to meet with Musicians On Call in NYC at Cornell Children's Hospital. Being down here brings back memories of when I was getting my treatment just a block awayat MSK. Looking forward to doing some special things with them and giving hope to some of these children through my music.
